Pauspur

Pauspur is a village in the state of Assam in India, located to the south of the Mornai Tea Estate within Kokrajhar district.

It was built just outside Mornai Tea Estate[1] at the colony's southern border[2] in the late 19th century by missionaries affiliated with the Santal Mission of the Northern Churches.

The Bengali-speaking Christians of the colony lived mainly in Pauspur or Bijoepur.

[6] The 1919–1920 annual report of the Santal Mission of the Northern Churches noted that "as we have some Christians of different races in Pauspur we got a small church built for worship in the Bengali language.

But we placed it close to the southern boundary of the Colony in order that it might become the starting point for work outside.
